Dunbrody Country House Hotel

Lovely food and staff. Loved the sauna and the Gate lodge was very comfortable.

I found that holding a large group or conference meant that the communal spaces where very noisy making it hard to relax in the evening with a drink.

Loved the Calm Country house atmosphere and 'in grounds' local pub with separate menu. Excellent Staff - would highly recommend.

Perhaps a little more choice for the vegetarians in the pub. But not a problem - just a wish.

We booked the chalet as it worked out better value than the rooms for 4 of us. However it seemed much darker than on the photos. It was comfortable and nicely furnished with very comfortable beds, just a bit gloomy on the outside area as a lot of trees have grown round it since the photos were taken. The hotel itself was beautiful, I would stay in the main house if revisiting.

When we arrived there were several large spiders and spider webs in the chalet. We got staff to clean them up but we had to clean more away during our stay.

Our room was lovely and the cocktails were excellent

I feel like the hotel was understaffed. We had to search for someone to check us in and again to get someone to go behind the bar and make us a coffee. We then paid to get breakfast which was 25 euro. For the continental part of the breakfast, it was not a buffet. We had to order everything from the table. We asked for a couple of different things and it seemed an ordeal to bring them out. The staff would bring one item and forget the next. In reality we paid 15 euro each for yogurt and a bowl of fruit. We were waiting for everything else. There was no water for the table. I felt it was like the staff were trying their best to give out as little food as possible. We then paid an extra 10 euro for the cooked part of the breakfast which was decent.
